I've been using SPDs since the 1st Shimano shoe/pedal combo way back when. For the 1st time user, it's sensible to adjust all the cleat release tension screws for easy release - 4 screws in all on most pedals. My hybrid has XT pedals & my road bike has XTR so don't have to swap shoes & can w...

I can't comment on the Edge 130 directly but can say it's been well-received as being one of Garmin's better cycling computers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGe3_MxFXpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mPWSEpaIBo https://road.cc/content/review/249884-garmin-edge-130 All reviews I've seen comment ...

Definitely a humblebrag but an amusing one (to me). On a slightly sadder note, I rarely say hello to other cyclists these days because I nearly always am greeted by silence in return. I always reply on the few occasions when I am acknowledged though.

I would 2nd the Garmin Edge 130 as a contender. My Edge 820 with recent firmware updates, works well enough but suffers from poor daytime visibility under sunny conditions. Non-colour displays such as on the Edge 130 & Wahoos tend to have better contrast therefore less distracting - requiring a ...

Some recent innovations such as hydraulic road disc brakes, thru-axles, wider & tubeless tyres I embrace - if I had limitless funds, I might even try electronic shifting but single chainrings strikes me as the cycle industry being more interested in churning incompatiblliy than anything else. I ...

I must confess to feeling sorry for any unfortunate soul who agonizes over how far they might or might not have travelled, as I also feel sorry for anyone who downloads after rides or who updates to a new version of whatever software they are using on whatever goddamn fangled device they might have...

Although the Garmin Remote works well enough, it seems it can only be paired with one host at a time - I added my Edge 25 (rather pointless, I know) but refused to work with my Edge 820 until, I re-paired it which then wouldn't control the 25. Not a deal breaker for me.

Before Xmas, I returned to using my Edge 25 due to the Bluetooth to iPhone issues I was having with my Edge 820. Garmin finally resolved the connection problem with v11.00. Both Garmins were underestimating distance by a few percent compared with my phone app (Cyclemeter) that I considered to be rea...

..... I've yet to read a bad review of the recent Wahoo models but loads of bad reviews of Garmins. Even getting the 820 to talk to my Mac Mini via USB can take several attempts. They exist - I've written one (with photographic evidence!).. Ian Some of the best films, bikes, novels, tyres, bike com...

I've just managed to re-pair my Garmin Edge 820 with my iPhone after a recent Garmin update - it took over 10 attempts. From my experience it often takes an Apple product to screw up otherwise working communications unless you are trying to communicate between 2 Apple products! Trying to work thing...

I've just managed to re-pair my Garmin Edge 820 with my iPhone after a recent Garmin update - it took over 10 attempts. There may well be several models from Garmin but all use their rubbish software. I now regularly beat myself up for not buying the Wahoo that may have slightly poorer mapping but i...

I find most shops that give the discount such as Evans & Cycle Republic don't on already discounted goods that accounts for most items or certainly many. I'm yet to receive any on labour charges. The only LBS that flatly refused any discount on a fully priced item was 700 in Windsor (Garmin Edge...

perhaps I'll store with the valves down-most to see if overcoming the initial lack of air entering the tyres changes or not. That's the first time I've heard of an initial resistance to air being pumped into a tubeless tyre - is it something many tubeless users report? If so, I wonder if that is a ...

One more point - remember to have the valves uppermost for adding or releasing air should you go with tubeless. I thought that was only specifically recommended for CO2 use, i.e. to minimise any damage to the sealant from the very low temperature of the gas as it expands and comes into contact with...
